Very comprehensive tour of Zurich and skilled Tour Team!

4.00The guide and driver were highly skilled, very knowledgeable and an excellent team. The thing I did not consider is large coach tours can have passengers who affect your experience in a positive or negative way. Negatively in my case. Many wore heavy perfume to which I’m allergic. Some were talking loudly through the narration. That does not diminish the Tour Guide’s excellent abilities but I will never book a large group tour again.
Great 4-5 hours spent in the city. Great value.

Tour Guide Was Very Rude

1.00We did not get to go on the walking tour due to a parade. The ferry ride was as a bus ride in a ferry, not a relaxing ferry ride, as described. There was a lot of traffic and the tour guide would not let us off the bus. We spent most of the tour in traffic and ended the tour an hour early and barely saw anything. The only enjoyable part was the gondola ride. The tour guide was extremely rude. Do not recommend.
So fun! Great way to see and learn about the city not stuck just on a bus but walking, a ferry ride and more!

5.00Alexander was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and friendly. He was easy to understand and gave a lot of details about various aspects of Zurich. History, the economy, the neighborhoods, the geography and more. Highly recommend this tour because we were not stuck on a bus the entire time - we walked around the old town and had scenic views from the ferry and experienced the cable car - a good mix for this tour. We covered a lot of area and it was worth it! The bus was very comfortable.
A Fantastic Tour of Zurich and the Surrounding Areas!

5.00This was our first visit to Zurich and booked this tour to get a feel for the city and very glad we did. Our tour guide Angela was excellent and coach driver Carlos navigated to traffic effortlessly. Angela made the tour feel very personal to everyone, giving an excellent commentary and historical background to the city, especially the Old Town, which set us up for a full day exploring the following day. We would highly recommend the tour as an introduction to Zurich and highly recommended Angela as your tour guide. Steve & Shirley, Hampshire, UK
Great way to see Zurich

5.00The experience was exactly as described and a very good way to see Zurich (especially in the winter) The bus ride made seeing the city comfortable and the 30 min walking tours were just right. Weather played a role when we went up the Felsegg lift as it was too cloudy to see the mountains but the area is nice and food good in the lodge at the top of the lift.
Great.
